Cops say a 24-year-old pregnant woman was punched in the face by an unidentified assailant in her late 20s riding the No. 4 train at 138th Street/Grand Concourse Sunday night. The pregnant woman then fought back by pulling a folding knife and slashing the woman's left arm.

Last week an ex-con attacked a woman in Park Slope, and the news is hitting the papers today. The NY Post reports that 32-year-old Thomas Russo followed 39-year-old Diana Greiner along 6th Avenue in Brooklyn last Tuesday around 11:45 p.m. Somewhere near Lincoln Place, Russo struck Greiner's skull (fracturing it) and slashed her face and body before fleeing on foot into a bodega.
